It's 2:00 a.m. do you know where your belongings are?

Trevor and I were surprised to come home at 2:00 a.m. Sunday night to find that our loft had been broken into an ran-sacked! We turned on the light to our loft, and our apt and saw a couple boxes out of place on the landing, just to look at the loft and see that Trevor's nice diamond back bike was not there, and all our boxes had been ripped open and a mess of all our belongings were scattered everywhere! Not sure if we should call the cops right away, we finished un-packing the car so we could lock it and get into the house! Trevor called his mom and while on the phone he walked outside and saw that our new sleeping bags had been thrown in the snow on the side of the house! We decided to call the cops. Two officers arrived about 10 minutes later and took a report, gave us their card and left! They kept saying that it was not easy like they make it in CSI to get fingerprints, so really there was nothing they could do for us! I was so upset and felt so violated!! Trevor was furious!! We put all our boxes and belongings back in to place and tried to settle down for the night. Every sound we heard Trevor jumped up and looked out side and in our loft, but it was nothing. You bet we slept with our pistol next to the bed! But, whoever it was is clearly long gone!
It makes me upset that there was nothing else that could be done by the officers. It seems to me that a fingerprint would be easy to retrieve. There have only been so many people who have touched our door handle, or our sleeping bags, or our boxes!! I just don't understand how our life could be violated in such a large way, and to have no justice!! So, today I have been calling all the pawn shops I could find and see if they had someone bring in a bike either Sunday or Monday. No progress so far. We have a good idea of who did it, but without sufficient proof, there is nothing the cops will do. We wanted them to question our neighbors, but they didn't. So, we did it ourselves, and it is clear as to who it was. So what is the next step? I have no idea. I called the officer and gave him the name of the person we suspect, and I am waiting to hear back from him. It just makes me sick to my stomach because Trevor is gone out of town so often! I was just home alone for nearly three months, and I would be terrified to be home alone anytime soon!! We have been talking about getting our concealed weapons permits, and after this incident, we have decided to do it sooner than later.
